Judge orders Trump confidant Roger Stone to court over Instagram post

Update: A US federal judge has ordered longtime Donald Trump confidant Roger Stone to appear in court to address his Instagram post featuring a photo of her with what appears to be the crosshairs of a gun.

Judge Amy Berman Jackson said that Stone must prove why his bail should not be revoked and why she should not institute a full gag order in the case.

US President Donald Trump's longtime confidant Roger Stone has apologised to the judge presiding over his criminal case for an Instagram post featuring a photo of her with what appears to be the crosshairs of a gun.

Stone and his lawyers filed a notice on Monday saying he recognised "the photograph and comment today was improper and should not have been posted".
